VeronicaS1970 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 So we weren't sure which Alaska 2024 sailing we wanted to book so did the book later Next Cruise booking. We decided on a cruise and I called last night to book. Got the cabins I wanted,ok no problem. But when looking at the receipt, I see balcony NRD and 30% off savings. No OBC listed below that. Do you not get OBC like you do if you do a regular booking? Or do I just need to call back and have someone correct it? Thanks for the help.

I was not ready to book but I forced myself to choose to get my OBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Traveling Mike explained above, with the NextCruise Book Later option, you must select your sailing within 60 days of the purchase date or you will lose your promotional OBC (a.k.a. "Savings"). You have up to one year to book the sailing before you lose the reduced NRD. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/NextCruise/19067112_NextCruise_BookNowBookLater_FAQs.pdf https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/NextCruise/BNBL_Consumer_Flyer.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 If you booked within the 60 days from your next cruise reservation look half way down the confirmation page for your OBC (it’s not in the top section) and if it’s not there call back Royal and ask for it.

VeronicaS1970 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I paid for the NC booking on 2/10/23 on Anthem. I booked on 2/13/23 with them on the phone from home, so just a mere 3 days later. So looks like I need to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off the phone and booked my next cruise...got off the ship last week so within my 2 month window. I asked the guy about the obc and he said yes,you get 100.00 because you booked a balcony. Just got the email invoice and it's not on there, so I'm guessing it's just something that shows up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last 3 reservations were NextCruise Book Later and the $100 OBC posted almost immediately after booking the actual sailing. I would say if not this evening, then likely by tomorrow you should have access to it in the CP. ScottD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...I guess i DO have to call because I don't see it there, and I even confirmed it with the agent on the phone when I booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
